Today, gamers logging into Xbox Live looking for some new tunes for Guitar Hero: World Tour are in for a treat with the Nirvana Track Pack. “Silver”, “Negative Creep”, and ” Your Know You’re Right” will individually run you 160 Microsoft Points ($2.00) each or 440 points ($5.50) for the track pack. If you are interested in bands that normally you would not have heard of over here in the States, Activison has also released some bands whose music is popular in different European countries.
German rock band Sportfreunde Stiller re-wrote their chart-topping hit “’54, ’74, ’90, 2006” in anticipation of a 2010 World Cup championship, and after loosing the World Cup, re-titled it “’54, ’74, ’90, 2010” and are bringing it to Guitar Hero World Tour as part of a three song Track Pack. Also included in the pack is the Italian rock band Negrita with “Mama Mae” and French rock band BB Brunes with “Dis Moi.”
Hailing from Sweden, the Backyard Babies, whose Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock on-disc track “Minus Celsius” saw an increase in digital audio downloads after appearing in the game, are back for an encore with “Degenerated” off their 2008 self-titled album. Joining the Backyard Babies in the second three-song Track Pack are Spanish rockers Fito Y Fitipaldis with “Por La Boca Vive El Pez” and Di-Rect who hail from the Netherlands with their track “Johnny.”
The two European Track Packs will be available on Xbox Live Microsoft for 440 and 160 Microsoft Points and on the PlayStation Store for $5.49 or $1.99 individually.
